How to Counteract One's Own Craving and Feelings?

The aggregate of feeling: when you contact the six sense objects and have awareness of those objects—knowing something is sweet, knowing something is painful, knowing it is scenery, knowing it is a smell, knowing it is a sound—afterwards there arise feelings of suffering, feelings of pleasure, and feelings that are neither painful nor pleasant; only then does the aggregate of feeling appear. The six consciousnesses direct attention (manaskāra) toward the six sense objects, then contact, then receive and apprehend them, then perceive, discern, and know, then experience the aggregate of feeling, and then volition deliberates, chooses, and decides, and the aggregate of volitional formations acts and fabricates.

In daily life, carefully examine your various feelings and experiences; examine what you are craving and attached to, what matters to you, and what you spend your thoughts and energy on. Once you have identified these, you should analyze what kind of mental state this is, what significance it has, and what its outcome will be. Then find ways to counteract your own cravings and feelings; in this way your practice will sweep away obstructions, and progress on the path will be swift.
